HMM: Pew Poll: Public Takes Conservative Turn on Gun Control, Abortion. “For the first time in a Pew Research survey, nearly as many people believe it is more important to protect the right of Americans to own guns (45%) than to control gun ownership (49%). . . . The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted March 31-April 21 among 1,521 adults reached on landlines and cell phones, also finds public opinion about abortion more closely divided than it has been in several years.”

UPDATE: Hmm. Related? Obama says abortion rights not a top priority.

Plus this: “Obama knows passage of the FOCA would mean lasting reproductive Freedom for women, which in turn would allow women the Freedom to cross party lines more readily. So…Obama punts women into the abyss of ongoing begging for control over their own bodies, and ongoing servitude to the Blue party.”
